Roadkill Nights Returns for 2025 with 10th Anniversary Blowout

The biggest Dodge enthusiast event of the year is coming back—MotorTrend Presents Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge returns on Saturday, August 9, 2025, kicking off Woodward Dream Cruise week with a full-throttle celebration of street-legal speed and Mopar muscle.

Now in its 10th year, Roadkill Nights has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the Silverdome parking lot. What started as a grassroots meet-up has grown into one of the most anticipated events on the enthusiast calendar. And according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear, this anniversary edition is going to be the best one yet.

“Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is marking a decade for one reason, and that’s the fans and the Dodge enthusiasts who have come out by the thousands and supported Roadkill Nights since it was a grassroots event,” said McAlear. “Each edition of the event gets bigger and better and, knowing what we have planned, the 10th year will be the best year yet.”

Just like in past years, fans can expect sanctioned drag racing right on a closed-down street in Metro Detroit, plus the return of the popular Direct Connection Grudge Race. The crowd-favorite Dodge Thrill Rides will be back, putting passengers in the seat of the 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, now fully electric but just as wild as ever.

The event will also include a massive car show, Dodge vehicle displays, exclusive new product reveals, and a full midway packed with Dodge merchandise, food vendors, and interactive brand exhibits.

The location will be announced soon, but the date is locked in—August 9, 2025. Mark your calendars now and get ready for the kickoff to Woodward Dream Cruise week that’ll be louder, faster, and more electrifying than ever before.

More information will drop in June. So stay tuned.
